I was thinking of something like this on each individual link to direct people to the main pages so it's easier to keep track of. But... that's a lot of work with little to no gain since most will probably never need it.

What exactly do you mean? If you're on the talk page, simply click the "page" tab at the top of the screen to get to the main page.

It's true, I actually didn't word it at all. Should have explained myself. Derp

So what I linked in the first post was a little test run. I posted similar directions on the other talk pages under the Clothes and parts and Costume Shop sections. My plan was to sway people from posting on the individual clothing pages and to encourage them to post on the larger common pages. Making it much easier to keep track of and help people.

Since both those directories have common links. The same questions might be posted more than once in different areas. So giving a common medium makes helping them easier.

Example: Lets say someone has a question referring to Emilia Replica. The page they just came from was Women's Clothing. Lets say that instead of posting their question on the Emilia Replica page, they post on the Women's Clothing page (since that was the page they were reading from originally, thinking it's related). They will be greeted with directions of where to post which questions. In this case since they are referring to the links on the Women's Clothing page, they will be directed to post on the Female clothes page instead. Similar directions would have appeared if they were originally reading from the Female clothes page to begin with. In conclusion, we funnel all related questions to the same page, the Female clothes page.

My original plan was to have directions on each individual link, directing them to a common page. For clothes and parts this probably won't be needed. But in other categories this may help out a lot.
